EYELASH AND EYEBROW IENCIL.

Application filed September 29, 1923. Serial No. 665,579.

The present invention relates to a cos metic and has to do with the packaging of coloring material as intended to be applied to the eye lashes and eye brows.

Primarily, it is an object of the invention to provioe a rigid foundation or base for cosmetic material; additionally, to afford means for releasably storing such material in a manner adapted to allow its ready 30 application, and also, to provide a substan tially dry cosmetic of the character described.

These and such other objects as may here inafter appear, are attained by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of the several parts of my device, as well. as by the formula therefor, such parts being fully and completely illustrated in the accompanying single sheet of drawing, at-

tached hereto and made a part of this specification.

In said drawings Figure l is an elevation of the complete package in closed position;

Figure 2 is a similar view of the device,

the pencil. or stick being removed from its case;

Figure 3 is a sectional detail of the construction; and

Figure 4 is a cross section of the casing.

Similar parts are designated by identical reference ordinals in the drawing and in the specification which follows.

The device comprises, primarily, a cosmetic pencil or stick and handle therefor, and a casing for such stick. Referring first to Figures 1 and 2, the ordinal 1O designates a cylindrical casing closed at one end and having a ventilating aperture 11 adjacent such closed end. A cross section of such case is found in Figure 4. Any suitable material may be chosen for the casing 10, such as celluloid, rubber, wood or metal,

Disposed within casing 10 is a rod or core 12, of glass, metal, wood, rubber or other suitable material, which rod or core is secured to a handle 13, the latter also serving as a closure for tube 10. Such rod 12 is preferably axially disposed upon said handle 13. The latter comprises a gripping or enlarged section or portion 14, to facilitate manual removal of the pencil from tube 10, and a slightly tapering section 15 which frictionally engages the interior walls of tube 10 when inserted thereinto, said handle 13 being best illustrated in Figure 8.

It is upon the rod 12 that the cosmetic material is-..deposited. Such material, indicated by ordinal 16 in Figures 2 and 3, is best applied by firstcompounding a liquid cosmetic in a deep vessel, and immersing the rod 12 one or more times into such liquid material. After each immersion, if there be a number thereof, the liquid material is allowed to thoroughly dry before 6 a second coat is applied. The cosmetic material may be applied in other ways when it is so desired.

An excellent formula for a cosmetic material adapted to be used with my device follows:

The alcohol and water are mixed, after which the acacia is dissolved therein. The coloring material is then thoroughly incorporated into the mucilage of acacia. A brown or other coloring material is sub stituted for lamp black when shades other than black are required.

After the composition described has dried upon rod 12, such rod is ready for use. In practice, the rod, is dipped slightly into water, or otherwise moistened, and then rubbed upon the eye brows or eye lashes until the coloring material is transferred thereto. After such operation is completed the rod 12 is returned to casing 10 where the moistened material will -dry, excess moisture escaping through ventilating hole 11 in the form of vapor.

It is quite apparent that the device may be made in a number of forms and I do not wish to be limited to the specific structure I have illustrated, but wish to include all forms falling within the terms of the claims appended hereto.

I claim as new:

A toilet accessory comprising a rod of insoluble material with low absorption properties coated with a cosmetic composed of three parts of carbon, one part of acacia, five parts of water, and one part of alcohol, such cosmetic l sing applied to said rod by the immersionof said rod in a solution of the named ingredients in the proportions stated, said cosmetic solution When dry becoming relatively hard but freely removable from said rod by the addition of moisture and subsequent friction, a container for said coated rod comprising an open ended hollow member apertur-ed to permit of the circulation of air therethrou-gh todry said 10 coating after each inoistening for use, and

a cap for said container having a body adapted to snugly fit in the open end of: said container, said cap gripping said rod to provide a handle therefor whereby to hold said rod in the hand during inoistening of said cosmetic and the application of the moistened cosmetic and maintaining said rod out of contact With the interior Wall of saidcontainer when seated therein.
